Just finished watching a film about Magnus Carlsen and how early he started and one of my key takeaways was that getting extremely good in chess actually helped him do well in other aspects of life as well.

Then of course his family doesn't seem to be pushing him, rather than supporting him, and if they had been pushing him hard into this it could possibly had a totally different outcome.

Have you seen the documentary about all the other kids who've started chess very early?

[eitland]

No, is there one?

I'm not sure if the comment you responded to was a sarcastic joke or a reference to this documentary.

huh?

My guess at a correction: 'good in her game'

[eitland]

Should of course be "good in his game".

I have rewritten it. I'll leave it to you to figure out my opinion of autocorrect ;-)
